Mr. KVS Manian, Managing Director & CEO said: “Having spent over a year in this role, I have a deep sense of conviction about where the Bank stands today and the direction we’re headed. Over the past few quarters, we’ve undertaken several strategic reorientations to strengthen our foundation and build for the future — and the results are beginning to show.
Our CASA franchise continues to demonstrate sustained and meaningful growth, reflecting the trust of our customers and the consistency of our team’s execution. We’re also broadening our asset mix thoughtfully, increasing the share of our mid-yield portfolio in a measured and disciplined way. At the same time, our fee income has seen strong, double-digit sequential growth, underscoring the breadth and resilience of our earnings.
Our asset quality remains solid, supported by prudent risk management and a balanced approach to growth. As we look ahead, we’re shaping an organisation that’s agile in its thinking, disciplined in its actions, and firmly anchored in the stability and values that define Federal Bank.
